The particular Something I had in mind here would be air bubbles that are pulled downwards against their buoyancy by a stream of water falling down a shaft. The work required to push those bubbles down must decrease energy somewhere else, so where does it come from? Is the stream's velocity reduced?

Entrainment works by the entraining medium giving momentum and energy to the entrained medium. The Wiki page on the injector pump should get you started.
